Our grandson, Vernon, is born!

Mila gave birth to a baby boy yesterday, October 21st. 

Owen held and comforted his son as Mila watched father and son meeting each other. 

They named their son Vernon, after Owen’s grandfather, who was a loving man, a fantastic grandfather, and someone who made others happy.  Grandpa Vernon was always there for his friends and for those he loved.

Grandpa Vernon was born in 1913.  He lived to 2013, just a few months shy of 100 years old.  Owen cancelled a military deployment and stayed by his grandpa’s side the last few months of his life.

Owen’s middle name is Vernon.  Owen was also named after Grandpa Vernon.  Owen has all of the same characteristics as did his grandfather.  Baby Vernon has a name to be proud of.

Hannah now has a little baby brother.  She will be thrilled!

Vernon is absolutely beautiful….we are so happy today to welcome our 13th grandchild into the world.

Grandma and Grandpa got to meet Vernon…..

Hannah told us, “baby brother, no sister.”  But she loves her little brother and was giving him kisses.
